I suspect you replaced the PCV or vent system because it was causing problems?
That clogged system may have popped a cam seal.

Was the car leaking oil before you did the PCV? If not, there has to be a hose loose or something. I would take the intake back off and check everything out. If it was, then you probably have a blow cam or crank seal on that side of the motor.

This would be the oil cooler lines. They do start to leak over time so I would not be at all surprised if they are leaking on you.

They both attach to the front of the oil pan on the pulley side then route under the AC compressor then up and to the front of the car to the radiator. Both lines plug into the radiator.
